Yeah, the community is kinda shit; blame everything on their team when they're playing and complain about the game when they're not. I ultimately decided to pick it up when several friends convinced me after saying it was easy to pick up, and it was. Relying on randoms to not suck at the other four roles kinda sucks, so having a full or almost-full party going in is ideal.

Also just got a triple ult kill as Lux (quadra overall), so I made hella sure to record that.

I too thought it looked incredibly stupid when I first saw it, but due to having many friends pestering me to play it, I tried it and was sucked in right away. I can see why people who haven't played would think it's dumb; without any context as to what's going on, it's all quite confusing and messy to watch. That, and the community is indeed crap, but that's not really a fault of the game itself, it's just the way it is. Riot does do a good job of keeping the game constantly updated, and they have tried quite a bit to improve some attitudes and lower toxicity, to which I commend. There's only so much they can do to meet the demands of what, 70 million players? I can't really blame them for all the problems they've faced, whether it be server-related or the constant complaints, with that much of an install base. No voice chat is honestly a blessing considering some of the players I've faced. And they truly have done a fantastic job of making such a competitive game so easy to pick up.

Anyway, I've been lvl 30 for a while, but I tend to avoid ranked due to all the anxiety it gives me. I'll try to add y'all tomorrow when I get the chance.

That's really just how the world sees League players, no matter how friendly you are in-game. It's just a fact of life. Everyday I feel ashamed for playing it, but it's pretty hard to quit. I mean I had friends who pretty much forced me to start playing but asdfjkl;kmzcxnviuwxh I couldn't stop once I started

The buff to Spirit Visage could really help champions with healing abilities like PRECIOUS STONES Taric. And the numerous changes to AP items could possibly change the mid metagame a bit, I'll have to wait and see.

Edit: All current new champs cost 7800 IP and go down to 6300 IP after about a week or two.

And yeah, with all the changes to magic items, my Ahri midgame is going to be vastly different. Funny thing is, I've only ever used Spirit Visage on Garen, so this is no change to him. Might have a use on Taric though... it'll make his gem play truly outrageous.

Well last night, I had an absolutely miserable losing streak that lasted for three matches; usually it's only two, but on the third match we surrendered 20 and a half minutes in because we were just getting beaten so badly and the only person on our team who got any kills at all was our Jax. Then when I finally do win a match, it's because our Wukong was a smurf who got 44 kills and the highest anyone on the other team got was 14. I need a hug.

On a positive note, I've taken a liking to Thresh for support. My best kill with him was probably when I dragged an Azir past my turret, let it soften him up, then finished him off myself (we didn't win that match, but still). He's also great with Kalista, just be wary if she randomly uses you in her ult. Of course I haven't actually bought him, so I guess I'll be falling back on Soraka for support until I can buy him with RP.

Funny enough this game is actually better as a spectator sport than actually playing it contrary to popular belief.

There's a reason stuff like the staple center and a bunch of other gigantic venues LoL rents is sold out in less than a few hours compared to Doter Too or SC2 these days.

Surprised a thread for LoL was made, honestly thought just me and Hyperthermal played it since everyone in the skype group showed a gigantic disgust to it for no apparent reason which kept me from making the thread myself.
